Unfortunately, it is not right. The firmware is proprietary. It may infringe the rights of authors of libraries and kernel, but until Bookeen released the source code, it is proprietary, and you have to abide the restrictions.

The only way to solve this problem is to bug the copyright holders to make them sue Bookeen.
